Thanks for the reply Stéphane.

I was thinking that it might be tricky. One of those things that could 
unexpectedly consume a lot of time.
It's a small feature but it would solve the problem that one of my 
views can get dragged out of view and there's no splitter visible to 
drag it back with.

A slight GUI redesign might be needed.
